well 🧍‍♀️ as a reminder this blog is NOT a safe space for trump supporters but it IS a safe place for women, queers, trans ppl, people of color, undocumented people, and any marginalized group.

maybe it's the corner i've curated, maybe it's a sign of time changing opinions, but i'm so happy that liking clara is not as contentious as it used to be. i always remember her as a very divisive figure, so it's probably the former but i'm just glad that clara oswald gets just the tiniest bit of love she deserves

yeah all of doctor who’s female companions just stand there and scream, which is why one of them was capable of beating a dalek up with a baseball bat after it called her small, one of them yelled straight back at the master that she could shout just as loud as he could, and do i really need to give you more evidence? is ace beating a dalek up not enough

One of my favorite parts about doctor who is that the companions' careers almost always come in handy in different ways even if it's not a glamorous career. Like obviously Martha and yaz's careers are going to be quite useful, but Graham being a bus driver and being a pivotal part of the plan in Rosa? Donna being a temp, which her mother thinks makes her useless, is what helps her pick up on things that no one else sees, like the file that showed no employees had sick days, and giving her random special skills that no one else would have like knowing the Dewey decimal system. Even Dan's fake career at the museum gave him knowledge about the williamson tunnels. It just rlly flows with the theme of dw that everyone is important and valuable

i'm so glad that the classic doctor who fandom hasn't died... even more so, i'm glad that many fans love how ridiculous it is. if people tried to take this show seriously all the time, it wouldn't be half as fun. there's a fine balance between "this show is about systematic discrimination and the perpetual battle against authoritarian conservatism" and "haha funny man stupid clothes" and we somehow straddle it in the best possible way

It also speaks volumes on the appeal of Classic Who and indeed the series as a whole when a lot of its fans were born way after it ended, born in a time when by right we should know better than to enjoy a antique series made with the budget of a packet of crisps, but there is just some kind of magnetic charm to the show that comes with all it’s rough (goofy) edges and sincere heart

Funny man stupid clothes is my favorite blorbo in all of time and space
